Units explained
Square Centimeter
A square centimeter is a metric unit of area equal to 10⁻⁴ m² (1 cm × 1 cm). It is widely used in everyday measurement, lab work, and small-area applications.
Derived by squaring the centimeter (1/100 of a meter). The centi- prefix comes from the Latin 'centum' (hundred).
Square centimeters express the cross-sectional area of pipes and cables, the surface area of small everyday objects, biological tissue samples, and many engineering quantities. The SI unit for medical/pharmaceutical dose-per-area is often expressed in cm².
Centimeter has been part of the metric system since 1795.
Square US Survey Foot
A square US survey foot is a unit of area equal to approximately 0.0929034116 m². It is slightly larger than the square international foot due to historical surveying definitions.
Derived by squaring the US survey foot, which was defined as exactly 1200/3937 meter from 1893 to 2023. This produced a value about 2 parts per million larger than the international foot.
Square US survey feet appear in legacy US public land records and state plane coordinate systems established before 2023. The US officially retired the survey foot effective January 1, 2023.
Defined in 1893; officially retired January 2023, but legacy records remain.
